I'm not normally one to gush, but I'm getting old and sentimental. I just wanted to say thanks for being a part of a band that brought great rock into the world. For some reason The Muffs have become my nostalgia band, especially the early stuff. I love listening, but simultaneously hurts so much, reminding me of a time I'll never be able to experience again (that true old German definition of nostalgia). "Kids in America" is easily one of the best covers of any song other there. I still use "I Don't Like You" as one of my alarms on my phone (if that won't wake you up, nothing will). And I'm sure I don't have to explain just how gut wrenching "Sad Tomorrow" became after Kim's death. You guys should have been so much bigger than you were. Thanks again.
Dude, I loved the way you guys covered this song. Best version of this anthem to date, no one has even come close to touching the raw energy that you delivered while Kim belted this banger out. Rock Band 2 helped me discover your band BTW.
@@DesertRainReads Thank you, I will never tire of hearing this kind of stuff. I tried to play the song once on Rock Band & totally blew it, couldn’t even play my own bass line! 😂
@@MrDavidleerothrocksanytime dude, ha ha, oh man, you know you wrote a good bass line when you can't even get through it on Rock Band 2. I have no idea if this was the actual music video for this iconic cover or not but if it's fan made? I'm genuinely impressed with how the girls captured the energy you and Kim put into the song. We lost an amazing vocalist and you lost a good friend when she passed. Just know her spirit lives on in those of us who love The Muffs.
Have you ever heard the UK novelty thrash punk band Lawnmower Deth's version of it? It's a crackup. Kim Wilde and her brother Ricki eventually collaborated on a punk Christmas song with them a few years ago.
1st like! That 90's Show is so solid! I'm so thankful to see the old gang mostly back together, and the new faces are adorable. I look forward to seeing hopefully much more!
@@opossum4463still, the literal kids that made this video clearly had tons of fun doing so and they captured the spunky energy of The Muffs dead to rights. This was great.
@@MrJett1971 Hmm. Three names of artists who are not Kim Shattuck are proof that no one screams like her? Not to mention none of them scream like she did, as she passed a few days ago sadly. But with that kind of proof, who the hell needs logic and reason? More like proof that you need your hearing checked because I hear very distinct differences and Kim didn't scream like any of the three you mention
Kim Shattuck MADE that HER song!!! She stole the fire and made it cooler! 😎💯 R.I.P. to Kim!!!! Everytime I hear the original, it just doesn't sound quite right anymore. 💯😎
I heard the version of this song from the band No Secrets in Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, but I always liked this version better. This version was my anthem growing up. 2000's Kids Unite!
I love how every part is a joke about playing and recording..I love the keyboardist just constantly up and down on the keys :) and the backup singers and the constant strumming of the guitar not having to do with anything being played.
there's a film coming out this year called "kids in america", that 70's show writers making it so we prob gona hear a lot more of that that song. my fav bit was when yer one blew the mike shield away, powerful stuff
No idea if this was the actual video or if one was even made but Holy shit, it damn well could've passed off as one. You can tell the girls who made this had tons of fun doing so, plus, they captured the essence of the song dead to rights. Whomever was the director of this deserves major kudos for pulling it off.
Their cover of "Kids In America", originally by Kim Wilde, was used in the soundtrack for the movie Clueless in 1995 and reissued later on their 2000 album Hamburger, as well as being used in Rock Band 2
This song was the moment when I realized that I didn't give TWO SHITS about my own age. 🤣 Because this was a song for "teenagers"... but I was in my 30's and thought "Shit!!! THAT'S a good fucking song!!!" 💯 Fuck the categories.
I've had the Clueless soundtrack since I was in high school, and this is the only song that made the cut to my iPhone. Can't wait to play it on Rock Band 2!
Hope I don’t ruin anyone’s day if they didn’t know that this is a cover. Kim Wilde’s original version of this song was from 1981. Gen-X just wanted to make sure u knew that. 😂
@warfan90 i am a real fan.....have been since 1997! I've seen em like 3 times and before that i had seen Kim in the pandoras as well. I was saying i didnt like the song very much........not once in my post did i say the girls in the vid were kim and the muffs. Do you often think before you speak, because you shoul.
Just because it doesn't say fan video doesn't mean it's the real music video by the band. I watched a video the other day and it said "Official Music Video" by some band, and all it was was a kid doing a drum cover. If this video was not pre-authorized by the Muffs, then it's a fanmade video even if it doesn't directly say so.
ahhhhhhahah i think the kids/teen/adults of america need to have a talk with the people behind rock band. i hear nirvana, tenacious d, beck and.. where does this song fit in?!!?
Gen V season 1 finale, amazing!
XD
what? was this song there?
@spacesheep6547 the mid credit scene in the final episode.
This has been up 17 years & I’m just now seeing it for the first time! 😁

Back when mtv was awesome!
This is the worst I felt about a rockstar dying. Seriously she better rest in peace!
me too, still sucks sooo much
Same here
@@ricardoratiguieri9862 it's not a conspiracy: they never recorded that song.
@@johnpickk7526😅😊😊
GEN V FINALE BROUGHT ME HERE
"What a bunch a c**ts"
RIP Kim Shattuck, you will be missed,
Billy Butcher: What a bunch of Cs.
Rest in Peace Kim. Thanks for playing.
It’s not about which is better, they both are cool! It’s great to see artists put their own spin on remakes! Love the original and love this version!
Have you ever heard the UK novelty thrash punk band Lawnmower Deth's version of it? It's a crackup. Kim Wilde and her brother Ricki eventually collaborated on a punk Christmas song with them a few years ago.
That 90s show anyone? Put a big smile on my face hearing this in there
1st like! That 90's Show is so solid! I'm so thankful to see the old gang mostly back together, and the new faces are adorable. I look forward to seeing hopefully much more!
Yup! It ended up being good! Can't wait for a new season
Hell yeah!🙌❤️
That '90s show rocks man!🤘
Bonus points to however knows the rendition from Digimon The Movie.
I heard this song on the season finale of 'That 90's show' and LOVED IT!
Rest in peace Kim Shattuck! The Muffs were my childhood
I love these girls. They're clearly having so much fun making this video.
The Muffs are awesome and I miss them. This one was always odd though as the actual band isn't in the video at all.
@@opossum4463still, the literal kids that made this video clearly had tons of fun doing so and they captured the spunky energy of The Muffs dead to rights. This was great.
gen v!!!!
Nobody screams like Kim Shattuck. Love ya kid!!!
Paul McCartney. Joan Jett. Little Richard. There’s at least three to prove you wrong...

Courtney Love?
How many of us know this is a cover?

Achei essa música Graças a Gen V- the boys , que top man
She had a scream that could scare a hurricane.
This is my favorite video of The Beatles.
The MUFFS! Yes.
Hands down best version
The New Guardians of Godolkin!
Cool. Great job girls! I like Midnights Angels version too. Both great bands :)
I love how every part is a joke about playing and recording..I love the keyboardist just constantly up and down on the keys :) and the backup singers and the constant strumming of the guitar not having to do with anything being played.
The muffs are awesome! Nice work from a fellow drummer.
The 90s show finale brought me here haha
Same here... it actually was pretty good
I love this video
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE THIS SONG!!!

AWESOME
Fantastic. To be better than the original took some doing, but the Muffs were one of the few capable of doing so. Love it.
I think this version as well as the version by Fourth Grade Nothing are both better than the original. Check it out if you haven't heard it!
@@justinman114 thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out that version
Man I love her rip
comes over all californian garage-punk...fantastic stuff.
Naked aggression has a really good cover too
Cool! I LOVE the singers hair.
I totally have to agree. Pretty cool song...
Gen X crushed so hard.
Their cover of "Kids In America", originally by Kim Wilde, was used in the soundtrack for the movie Clueless in 1995 and reissued later on their 2000 album Hamburger, as well as being used in Rock Band 2
oh this is good.....

Because this was a song for "teenagers"... but I was in my 30's and thought "Shit!!! THAT'S a good fucking song!!!" 💯
Fuck the categories.
nice one. gotta like these fan-made videos, specially when they good.
i like this cover.
RIP Kim
@Rawk4Life Oh, and the Muffs comprised two men and two women originally (and on the first album).
lol the muffs. that made me giggle.
is this the actual music video?
Kim wilde.beatifull
Rest In Peace:(
I've had the Clueless soundtrack since I was in high school, and this is the only song that made the cut to my iPhone. Can't wait to play it on Rock Band 2!
No Luscious Jackson's "Here"?
Who's here after final episode of That 90's Show!
Loving the keyboard action, great work guys!!
The voice is the best thing in the hole song! Can you believe that a girl is singing this?
It sounds so freakin cool.
awesome song
Yes.
0:14 she got the cigs, now a days its the vapes.
Saudade desses clipes da MTV
Homelander badass
Rock in peace Kim
Hope I don’t ruin anyone’s day if they didn’t know that this is a cover. Kim Wilde’s original version of this song was from 1981. Gen-X just wanted to make sure u knew that. 😂
It's so real! I give it 3 stars for being vulnerable.
That’s a Kurt Cobain type scream.
Kim's version came out in 1981 - way before any other - plus, the original is sooo much better - cutting edge and I love electronica!!!
I never realized this was a cover. This was the only version i've known xD But I like this one and Kim Wilde's a lot.
@Rawk4Life This is the real video. The band is not in it. That's the concept.
17 years
I love all the cigarettes they have
Slik Cut from the uk
❤
Great song
This looks like Disney channel and 2006. Niiiiice
Who are the people in this filmclip?
It was on clueless so it can't be that useless.
I fucking love it even if it's only for the cheese factor!
Big bottomed girls, gotta love em!
best version of this song!!! EVER!!!
She has that Courtney love sound, maybe even the girl from the distillers
You know life is cruel life is never kind
This version closed out season 1 of That 90s Show.
Best scream in rock!!
Not sure what this is,
but that's not The Muffs
Just say'n
R.I.P. Kim
awesome!
Yo. This video is a comment time capsule
Gen V🍆🔥

Anyone here because of the Gen V finale ?
omg i think i just died a little bit inside listening to this
Gen V episode 8 brought me back
Just because it doesn't say fan video doesn't mean it's the real music video by the band. I watched a video the other day and it said "Official Music Video" by some band, and all it was was a kid doing a drum cover.

man, what a high school video... hahahaha
How did these poeple get a record deal?!?!?!
amen
wow ur so cool
Girl band concept video, errr...0k, this video lacks one important visual. Kim Shattuck! excellent scream, btw.
Confirmed Song For Rock Band 2!
@banshierocks I almost could picture you with a tee with "worst episode ever" on it.
ahhhhhhahah i think the kids/teen/adults of america need to have a talk with the people behind rock band.
i hear nirvana, tenacious d, beck and.. where does this song fit in?!!?
Fuck Yea‼️🎧👉🏾🤘🏽
